1983 Trotanoy

1983 Château Trotanoy:
In the neck fill. Soaked cork. Ruby with brick rim, rich tobacco, plums, almost cedary, flirting, and after some great Burgundies, flirting like few. Complex and layered, cigars, perfumed, hyacinths, violets hardwood and anise. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, biting texture, a bit lean mid-palate first but got richer with air, fuller, after 45 minutes a perfect palate. Balanced, elegant, even if not rich, surprisingly powerfull. Fantastic length. 96
